Senator Jay \. IIubbcll is quite a
fellow, and manages TO make himself
seen and heard at public gathcing
if he is anywhere within a block Of
the vicinity. He is one of those semi
omniprcscnt individuals who, on an
occasion like the late Republican
senatorial caucus, somehow seems TO
divide himself into a yarity OF chunks
of political keenness and thus present
himself in a number of place. almost
simultaneously. During the caucus
he attracted attention by skipping
about, nimble as the feline species,

County Items.

From the Shepherdstown Register
we clip the following items:
A colored man named Daniel Hop
per, who is employed on the ballast
train on the Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road, had his left arm frightfully
crushed last Monday while coupling
cars at Shenandoah Junction. DR..
Butler, of this place, dressed the
wound.
George Cookus caught an immense
fish in the river near Shepherdstown
on Tuesday. He was fishing with a
dipnet, and when he pulled it up and
saw a big yellow fish Topping around
in it he thought he had the whale that
swallowed Jonah. 1t proved to be a
German carp, however, and weighed
twelve and a-half pounds.
We are informed that lightning
struck tree in the yard of Mr.. Ra-
leigh Moier, oie day last week, and
severely shocked the occupants of the
house. Both doors, of q hall were
open, when a big ball of fire was seen
to shoot through the passage and
strike the tree with terrific crash.
Several persons were stunned by the
shock, but all soon recovered.
